These records are in various states of used condition - hence the low starting price. I'm sure that somebody will be able to clean these LPs up - it's amazing what can be done with professional cleaning systems - unfortunately, I do not have one.

WEIGHT = 3 Kilos POSTAGE: £10 (UK), £15 (EUROPE) & £20 (REST OF THE WORLD)

 *NB. FOR BUYERS OUTSIDE OF EUROPE, I CAN REDUCE POSTAGE BY SENDING SURFACE MAIL BUT THIS TAKES 6-8 WEEKS. SURFACE MAIL NOT AVAILABLE TO EUROPEAN BUYERS – THE BRITISH POSTAL SERVICE DOES NOT OFFER THIS OPTION.

Mint - The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as sealed or unplayed should be mint

Excellent - The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.

Very Good - The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items without any major defects, is acceptable.

Good - The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc...

Fair - The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise, it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, Stained and/or defaced

Poor - The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or perhaps missing.

Bad - The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection filler.
